Hawks: Andre Smith’s Pro Day

You remember Andre Smith, the Alabama tackle who showed up at the NFL scouting combine out of shape and then left Indy without telling anyone.

Well, the player once considered the best at his position in this draft class did nothing to improve his stock at his Pro Day workout — other than the fact that he hung around for the entire process this time.

Here’s a report from NFL.com:

Andre Smith, one of the top offensive tackle prospects in this year’s draft, said he was relying on Alabama’s pro day to make up for the disappearing act he put on at the combine. Well, his times were not overly impressive, but he did at least work out.

Smith measured in at 6-foot-4 ¼, 325 pounds and ran the 40-yard dash in 5.28 and 5.33 seconds. He had a 25-inch vertical, a 7-foot, 10-inch broad jump, a 7.88-second three-cone drill and 19 bench press reps at 225 pounds. His short shuttle time is still to come as are the times from his Alabama teammates.

To put Smith’s workout in perspective, he did not post a single number that would have placed him in the top performers at his position at the combine and many of his numbers were not even close to the top 10 at his position at the combine.
